A Maine Stage-Driyer.

A large number of stage lines radi-
ate from Skowhegan. The longest
route is from Skowhegan to the forks,
fifty miles. Irving Young, who drives
it, is the best whip in Maine.
Young used to be ariver-driver. He
is six feet three inches high, about 90
years old, a rough. weather-beaten fell
low, with sledge-hammer fist and q
soft heart. He is noted for his Won
derful a m with whiplash, and for his
happy way # managing the loads OF
half-drunken log-drivers that he some
times carries in the spring and fall.
You would AS soon think of q Texas
cowboy distributing tracts as OF this
tough stager adopt ng a moral code for
his passengers; but lie has one, never
theless, and suffers no violations of it.
He forbids all profane and indecent
language on his stage, and the river
drivers have to mind the rule when they
are aboard. I'D just as lief my wife
would ride to tho Forks on his stage as
not, no matter how rough n crowd he
might have on" said n Skowhegan adj
mirer of "Irv" to the writer. Young
used to have row with his passengers
once in while, but his reputation is
now so well established that he seldom
has any trouble.
An incident that occurred few years
ago illustrates his control over brawl-
ers. A crew of them rode with him
and became too noisy. When he re-
monstrated they grew saucy and
seemed indisposed to mind him. After
very little talk he pulled UP and
jumped down from the box.
Gentlemen" said he, with mock re-
spect, 81 thought l was the driver of
this stage, but find that I've got to
see whether L am or not. 1 go in for
letting the best man drive" He pulled
off his coat and added: I'm ready to
take you one at time and see who is
the best man."
you're the best man, Irv."
"Oh! go ahead and drive, Irv.
This was all the fellows said in an
swer to his challenge. He gathered up
his reins and had no more trouble with
his crew.-Letciston Journal.

In certain mill a large belt was in
closed in deep trough or spout, which
was open on top, and protected the
passer from danger, yet a narrow foot
walk ran over the spout, into which @
man once fell as he slipped from the
narrow walk. This belt led from the
bottom of pulley, and passed upward
at an angle of forty-five degrees. The
trough was over two feet deep, and
there the unfortunate man lay, his
head against the revolving pulley, the
belt tending TO carry him up, while
gravity kept him down. How long
this man suffered in this position is un
known, but it was for several hours,
and when found, the flesh had beer
scraped from his bones in many places
and death had released him from his
sufferings.

Ten Things a Baby Can DO.

1t can beat any alarm clock ever in
vented waking family up in the morn
ing.
Give it fair show and it can smash
more dishes than the most industrious
servant girl in the country.
1t can fall down oftener and with
less provocation than the most expert
tumbler in the circus ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss over
simple brass pin than the mother
would over broken back.
1t can choke itse,f black in the face
with greater ease than the most accom-
phshed wret h that ever was exc
cuted.
1t can keep family in a constant
turmoil from morn till night, and from
night till morning, without once vary
ing its tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep peace
fully all day when its father is down
town and cry persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
1t may be the naught est, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believe it, and you had better
not try it.
1t can be charming and model
infant when no one is around, but
when visitors are present it can exhibit
more bad temper than both of its par
ents together.
1t can brighten up a house better
than all the furniture ever made; make
sweeter music than the finest orchestra
organized; fill larger place in its par
ents' breast than they knew they had,
and when it goes away it can cause a
greater vacancy and leave a greater
blank than all the rest of the world
put together

Strange Kinds of Food.

Cuttle-tishes, in one form or another,
are eaten the world round. In Naples
you can buy their flesh any day in the
markets, and it is prepared with vine
gar and spices. The Indians of Brit.
ish America think themselves in luck
when they capture big octopus. They
spear him with a wooden lance and
drag him dextrously from among the
rocks, taking great precautions lest he
should upset the canoe before he is
done for" II it is not convenient to
cook him they do not hesitate to cut
pieces from the Shiny mass and devour
them raw. They like better, however,
to boil the "man-sucker," and their
only method of cooking in the old days
was to put it into q clay-chinked bas-
ket, partly filled with heated stones,
which soon brought the water to a
boiling point. The celestials make the
most extensive use of the cuttle-fish,
having both octopods and squids in
great abundance. You can see in all
Chinese markets piles of sun-dried
squids split open, fiattened out, and
looking like small white Goldfish, with
long, stiffened fringes at the broad end,
circle of arms about the head. Dried
squids will keep in good condition for
many years; and when they are boiled,
mixed with herbs, and pleasantly sea-
soned they make a capital soup or
pudding, the taste of which will mildly
suggest lobster broth.
The miserable Indians of Utah and
the Colorado deser', and the Bushmen
of Africa, who live in hot, dry, open
region, gather grasshoppers, crickets,
and some sorts of beetles, and make q
meal of their dried bodies, which they
crush and mix into sort of paste
with berries or seeds, or else they de-
YOUR the insects raw. AS for locusts,
they are called the national dish" of
the Zambesi region in South Africa
and are on the bill of fare of such
half-civilized people as the Arabians,
Persians and Egyptians, while their
young were considered dainty by the
Romans.
The axlot forms the principal food of
the Mexican peasantry on the plateaus
during early summer. 1t is larger
sort of those water-lizards (which are
not real lizards) known in the midd e
parts of the United States as mud-pup-
pies and hellbenders. The Spanish
conquerors of Mexico adopted this
disgusting looking reptile as food from
the Aztecs, but in place of the plain
cooking followed by the Indians they
preferred to soak it in vinegar and
season it with pepper aud cloves.
The Chinese ard burmese are said
to eat lizards, but here they are by no
means alone, for jewellers in dry, pow
erty. stricken regions in all parts of the
globe resort to tina. feod, and even to
serpents. The Apaches, Pah- Utes, and
other red-skin natives of the arid
tablelands of Southern Utah, Arizona.
and California regard their forked
sticks and gals for catching lizards as
being the most needful of human tools.

Walter Scott and the Traitor.

When Walter Scott was @ mere
youth he began collecting all sorts OF
out-ofthe-way things. On the wall OF
his "den" were hung a cabinet of Scotch
and Roman coins, claymore, Loeb
abar ak and Broughton's saucer, which
was hooked up under picture OF
Prince Charley, the young Pretender.
The saucer had a history. Mr.. Walter
Scott, ST., was lawyer. One autumn
sedan chair deposited at certain
hour every evening person at Mr..
SCOTS door, carefully mutlied in q
mantle. He was Immediately shown to
the lawyers private room, where he
remained long time. Mrs. SCOTS
curiosity prompted her to ask ques-
tons which Mr. Scott would not an
swer to her satisfaction. One evening
when she heard the bell ring for the
strangers chair to carry him off, she
entered the private room with q salver
in her hand on which were two cups,
saying that the gentlemen had sat so
long they would be better for dish of
tea. The stranger, person of distin-
guished appearance and richly dressed,
bowed to the lady and drank from the
offered cup. Her husband refused the
tea.
AS soon as the visitor had departed
Mr.. Scott, lifting the window-sash,
took the cup from which the visitor
had drank and threw it into the street.
The wife demonstrated on the loss of
her valuable china. 81 can forgive
your curiosity, madam, but you must
pay the penalty" said her husband.
